Well, summer has come and gone.

  I have harvested the last of the tomatoes.  This year’s crop was disappointing, as the long cool, wet spring allowed blight to get a foothold, and most of the plants succumbed just as they were nearing their most productive stage of growth. I finally got around to cleaning the grasses and other weeds out of my raspberries, the the effect was amazing.  The productivity of the fall crop of berries from plants increased hugely compared to last year.  I harvested about a pint of berries every day from August 1 until October 1.  Even now, a few berries remain, like the beauty shown here, but not enough to bother with.  I will surely miss the berries on my breakfast cereal, until the berries return next June.
